Water Management
TIPCO Asphalt Group aims to improve water usage in line with our responsible water management and shared water usage philosophy
Management Approach
Water has been well regarded as one of the key natural resources for our businesses as water is one of the key ingredients for asphalt emulsion product lines. Therefore, all TIPCO Asphalt Group’s production plants are equipped with surface water reservoir for each plant’s internal use to ensure no water shortage for production while eliminating risks on dispute over water with nearby community; or in some case, the plant can even access to water source with nearby community during drought.
